I am starting on the planing for my railway and need to find out more about outdoor LGB rack operations. The plan is to run my current "Ballenberg" 3/3 loco and probably at least one electic 2/2 type later on in the future. I have seen several warnings on the approaches for the Ballenberg, being a 3/3 with a long wheelbase, they are not as forgiving as the 2/2 electrics supposedly, is this the case? I was reading a German article about the rack rails and expansion/contraction in the heat, is this much of a problem? They say you can lay the rack rail on turns, I was thinking of R3 or R5 as a minimum, LGB stuff looks too toylike on R1... This is my second attempt at a garden railway, the previous one was a 16mm on 0 gauge live steam one 15 odd years ago that was less than successful. Thanks- Garrett
